Friend, I have news for you. The Home Office has been utterly shit for decades. Not simply under the Conservatives.

God I love the Welsh.

I think this gives too much credit to how badly run the Home Office is. Regardless of political party it is, and will remain, an utter shit show. There’s only so much incompetence throwing money at a department can cover up.

If I were still inside your mom I’d make that face too.

Hiiiiooooohhh

Dawn Butler has since deleted the post,

Why am I not surprised it was Dawn Butler 🧐.

The post described the former business secretary as a member of the “black collaborator class”.

Fucking hell. Does she even read what she retweets? Imagine, for a second, Trump doing this. Would we be defending his actions? Jaysus what is she thinking?

“The best thing will be when we get to a point where the colour of your skin is no more remarkable than the colour of your eyes or the colour of your hair,” she told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.

I find it interesting that both Sunak and now Badenoch have said similar things about the colour of their skin and the fact they have been leaders of their party not being a big deal. For them they are are British and that’s how they identify. Whilst in both cases Labour has congratulated them as being the first Hindu to be PM and now the first Black person to be leader of a party. Don’t get me wrong these are important milestones, but I find it fascinating that the people who broke these barriers don’t consider it a core identity point and the party that hasn’t yet does.

I never saw the article as anything more than a sarcastic opinion piece. They’re not calling on the chancellor to reverse the budget. They’re not pointing to business opposition. They’re not saying anything but haven’t an armchair moan in, what looks like to me, a light-hearted opinion piece.

But fair enough if others see it differently. I certainly didn’t.

After some twukini

miniminimimni…twukini!

I feel… and hear me out… you’re taking this opinion piece too seriously. Read it like you’d read a Spectator article (and I very much appreciate you might read the Spectator). These are meant to be tongue in cheek. They’re not meant to be taken seriously or over analysed.

Could you imagine being this put out about the guardian opinion pieces?

I thought it was an AI at first 🤖

Are you able to explain what you were trying to joke about?

Easy to sell clicks though.

Go on I’ll bite… Where’s the joke here?

Russia’s useful idiots.

America will continue to support Israel. There’s money in it. That’s the bottom line for the US. To think differently is naive.

We shouldn’t be surprised. Lammy is a cabinet minister in a UK government. You’re not going to get a different answer on this topic. Deselect him if you feel strongly otherwise. These people don’t listen to anything else.

He’s also a hardcore Christian. Listen to his views on assisted dying for example. Whilst still in opposition he was asked about this on Question Time not that long ago. When the topic via Esther Rantzen first came up. He said he would seek council from his constituency and then made it clear that it was his church constituency that he was referring to. Forget about the electorate. His head and heart is firmly aligned with what his congregation wants. I suspect on this matter it is much the same.

Travel somewhere nice

This whole food thing. It’s so subjective. How has it reached this stage? 😄😄

Why would he value his estate in dollars? 😂😂😂

I’d hope he sends the Tories further down in parliament such that the strong opposition is the Lib Dems. The Tories can language in Green or SNP territory.

Maybe within the Tory party, for sure. I can believe that. But does he not want the Conservatives to be electable in a general election scenario.

I’m not trying to be funny, but isn’t this exactly what Labour did with the Corbyn years? Appealed to what looked like a large majority of their membership that turned out to be spectacularly unpopular at a general election level.

I cannot believe the Tories want to repeat this lesson. I mean, if they want to be out of office for a decade then that’s cool with me.
